Thompson & Morgan

Introducing Pelargonium ‘Black Velvet Mix’ F1 seeds, a truly spectacular choice for adding vibrant colour and dramatic contrast to your garden. This unique mix boasts plants with deep, almost black foliage, providing a stunning backdrop for the profusion of appleblossom, red, rose, and salmon flowers. Perfect for creating eye-catching displays in pots, containers, borders, and bedding schemes, these pelargoniums will bring a touch of exotic flair to your patio, balcony, or garden beds. While technically a perennial, Pelargonium ‘Black Velvet Mix’ F1 is considered half-hardy and is often grown as an annual in cooler climates. With a little care, it can be overwintered in a frost-free environment to provide continued beauty in subsequent seasons. How to Grow: - Light: Plant in a position that receives full sun to ensure the best flower colour and rich foliage. - Temperature: Aim for a germination temperature of 20–25°C. Protect from frost and overwinter in a frost-free location. - Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil, avoiding waterlogged conditions, particularly during the seedling stage. - Feeding: Once established, feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertiliser to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. - Humidity: Ensure moderate humidity levels and good air circulation to prevent any potential fungal issues. This mix offers a delightful variety of colours, including soft appleblossom pinks, vibrant reds, classic rose shades, and warm salmon hues, all complemented by the uniquely dark foliage.
